Synopsis

Collaborative Problem Solving in the Mathematics Classroom This spiral bound photocopiable book contains 25 sets of group problem-solving cards. Each set of cards contains the clues needed to solve a problem as well as some 'red herrings'. It is intended they should be shared out between a small group of children who have to share their clues verbally and solve the problem together. This method of working allows a match with 'speaking and listening' and thus fulfills some of the requirements of literacy across the curriculum. The cards are written specifically for children operating at levels 4 and 5 of the English National Curriculum and as such will meet the needs of children from both primary and early secondary phases of education. The pack is fully photocopiable. Authors: Mike Spooner, Anitra Vickery Brian Adams: I use this resource with my year 5 class regularly. I put them into teams to solve the problems it promotes lots of speaking and listening and the kids love it.
